"My Fantastical Drift as a 'Blockchain Didi Driver' with ERA Between Rollups"
Friends, I finally found a part-time job busier than a food delivery guy—being a 'cross-chain ferry operator' on Caldera's Metalayer! My daily work is to help everyone's assets shuttle between Rollups like Optimism, Arbitrum, and zkSync, earning enough ERA tokens for an extra chicken leg every day.
Real magical operation record:
🌉 Bridge engineer experience: Cross-chain used to feel like squeezing onto a green train during the Spring Festival, but now with Metalayer, it’s like taking the Fuxing train, and I can transfer money while watching short videos (it only takes 15 seconds from Polygon to Starknet in real tests, faster than making instant noodles).
🎮 Governance game addiction: Voting with ERA always reminds me of the 'vote stuffing' in college elective classes—although I completely don’t understand the proposal on 'improving zero-knowledge proof throughput,' I can just vote along with the big shots to get airdrops, can’t lose this round!
🍜 Customized delicious warning: Last week, I set up a 'points Rollup' for the milk tea shop in my community, and now I can mine while buying milk tea; the shop owner even calls me 'Chain Circle Zhang Xiaolong.'
But beware of these pitfalls:
The annualized return from staking ERA looks tempting, but the price fluctuations are more thrilling than a roller coaster.
Newbies can easily get confused by various ZK and OP terms, so it's advisable to start with small amounts of assets.
Cross-chain is so convenient that it’s easy to lose control; yesterday, I accidentally got liquidated on three chains at the same time.
The most magical part is that now when friends ask to borrow money, I say: 'How about I help you build a dedicated Rollup?' (And then they just disappear).
